Hurnik, Ilja - Dance for Four Hands: Home Music - Piano Duet (1 Piano 4 Hands)

Dance For Four Hands Home Music

Composer: Ilja Hurnik 

(Translated by Google) Born in Silesia in 1922, the Czech composer and pianist Ilja Hurnik lives in Prague today. Pedagogical pieces for piano lessons play an important role in his work alongside an extensive chamber music work. The "dances" published in Prague in 1970 have remained largely unknown because of the "Iron Curtain" at that time and should be met with interest in Western European piano teachers with the present reissue. They build a bridge between contemporary music and jazz and use popular dance forms (movements are: Charleston - Ragtime - The Negro Lullaby - Habanera - Cake walk). They turn to piano duos and are particularly suitable for the competition "Jugend musiziert". An insider tip for the demanding piano lessons!
